The Astra chair is designed with a futuristic approach, using advanced polyurethane molded foam and a durable metal framework to ensure lasting form and function. Its design mirrors the sleek, efficient aesthetics of space technology. The backrest is enveloped in a single layer of foam, while the seat is cushioned with one layer for straightforward comfort, similar to the practical design of spacecraft interiors.
The chair’s upholstery is expertly applied using the dressing method, allowing for seamless replacement of covers without disrupting the underlying framework. Replacement covers are available in various textures and materials, including artificial leather, velvet, woven fabric, linen, genuine leather, bouclé, and nubuck. This precision in fabric cutting, achieved with CNC technology, ensures each piece is as perfectly tailored as the advanced materials used in space exploration.
Customization options extend to features such as cushion placements and backrest designs, reminiscent of the modular, adaptable elements found in spacecraft. The Astra chair’s metal frame includes inserts for attaching a range of wooden and metal bases, allowing it to adapt to various design requirements, much like how spacecraft are designed for diverse missions.
The chair’s five-way swivel bases come in materials like aluminum, chromium-plated metal, and black polyamide, reflecting the robust yet lightweight materials used in aerospace engineering. The black polyamide wheels, with optional caps in polyamide or chromium-plated metal, combine functionality with style. A discreet gas-lift mechanism, echoing the precise control systems in spacecraft, allows for easy adjustments in seat height and tilt, providing exceptional comfort for extended periods. Alternatively, wheels can be replaced with fixed feet for a stationary setup, showcasing the chair’s adaptability to different settings.
